Hello Everyone,
I haven't been on in a long time but have now become a sucessful chicken keeper! Not that it is that hard but does take patience and time. I have a small issue...the people that were renting property that my hubby manages, moved out, left for dead their dog, rabbit, 5 hens and a roo. Well the dog is gone..broke free we think, after I called animal control (we have a no kill shelter). The rabbit found a home and I have since brought the 4 of the hens (all we could catch at the time) home. I have them seperate of my flock of course, and will remain that way for 30 days for precautionary reasons. The new girls are very friendly and trusting, tho my roo is making his "stink" known to them from a distance. Do I have to worry about the same problem with introducing them to my flock since there are 4 (soon to be 5) of them instead of a single bird that will get picked on ????
